Parted Magic
Lua error in Module:Infobox at line 314: malformed pattern (missing ']').
Parted Magic is a commercial Linux distribution with disk partitioning and data recovery tools,[2] sold as a Linux-based bootable disk. The distribution's nomenclature is derived from the name of the software package GNU Parted.
Features
The program is directly bootable from a CD, USB flash drive, or through a network using PXE on PC hardware, and does not require installation, or the presence of an installed operating system.[3]
Although originally designed for mechanical hard disk drives, Parted Magic is suitable for use also with solid state drives and can perform an ATA Secure Erase (a method to return a drive to its factory state that is built into the hard drive controller).
Parted Magic supports reading and writing to a variety of modern file systems, including ext3, ext4, FAT, exFAT, and NTFS, and as such is able to access disk drives formatted for use under Microsoft Windows and GNU/Linux systems.
The software's distribution includes local network and Internet support, and comes with the Firefox web browser.[4]
System requirements
As of version 11.11.11, Parted Magic supports Intel x86 and x86-64 processors natively, and requires a computer with at least an i586 Intel-compatible processor and 175MB of RAM.[5] x86 versions from 2013_09_26 do not require the Physical Address Extension (PAE) computer processor feature.[6]
Availability
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. Up to version 2013.08.01 the distribution was freely available for download from the official website and the project page on SourceForge. The distribution moved to a pay-for-download business model to offset the costs associated with packaging a Linux distribution.[7][8]
